Q

differences of aerobic and anaerobic respiration

A

aerobic
- more atp (36) produced
- uses oxygen
- waste products: co2 + water
- pyruvate carried to mitochondria
- can metabolise other molecules

anaerobic
- less atp (2) produced
- water products: co2 + ethanol (yeast) animals: lactic acid
- occurs in cytoplasm only
- can only metabolise glucose

Q

stages of glycolysis

A
  1. bind 2 phosphate
    - phosphorylation
    - glucose-1-6-biphosphate
  2. lysis
    - 2 G3P
  3. oxidation
    - 2 G3P -> 2 pyruvate
    - NAD+ reduced to NADH+ H+
    = 2 atp

Q

if deplete all NAD+ but unused

A

stop at producing 2 G3P
- cant convert to pyruvate so no 4 atp and just loosing 2 atp

25
link reaction where
mitochondrial matrix
26
oxidative decarboxylation
link: 2x pyruvate -> 2x AcetylcoA (2c) catalyst: Coenzyme A krebs: citrate -> 5c , 5c -> 4c
27
role of NAD
- steal hydrogen and electron - reduced
28
link reaction
pyruvate (3c) will react with oxygen [indirectly] -> one molecule of carbon dioxide, one molecule of Acetyl CoA (2c) and 1 NADH and H+
29
how many atp formed in link reaction
0
30
what step not needed when lipids are respired
glycolysis
31
acetyl CoA
break off 2 carbon off to kreb cycle until all broken down
32
if number of carbons is odd
released as co2
33
carbohydrates vs lipids (atp, anaerobic, energy yield)
carbohydrates - generates some ATP - does not require oxygen - energy yield: half from lipids lipids - anaerobic is not possible: breaking it down - energy yield: nearly twice as much from carbohydrates - directly go into link reaction
34
krebs cycle net yield per glucose
- 2 atp - 6 NADH + H+ (reduced NAD) - 2 FADH
35
where does kreb cycle take place in
mitochondrial matrix
36
what is the electron transport chain made up of + where
a number of integral proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane
37
role of NAD
accepts hydrogen form a substrate
38
what is NAD+
coenzyme - NAD accepts hydrogen from a substrate, reduced to NADH - NADH carries the hydrogen to the electron transport chain - hydrogen ions and electrons are used to produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation
39
purpose of converting pyruvate to lactate during anaerobic cell respiration
regenerate NAD
40
energy change involved in the interconversion between atp and adp
- energy is released when atp is hydrolysed to adp and phosphate - energy is required to synthesise atp from adp and phosphate
41
how many Acetyl CoA produced per glucose molecule
2 (split into 2 pyruvate)
42
function of outer membrane
separates the contents of mitochondria from rest of the cell, partially permeable
43
function of inner membrane (and cristae)
etc and atp synthase present
44
how is inner membrnae and cristae adapted
increase surface area available for oxidative phosphorylation (ADP + Pi → ATP)
45
function of the matrix
contains enzymes for krebs cycle and link reaction
46
how is the matrix efficient
presence of respiratory enzymes
47
function of mitochondrial and ribosomes
expression of mitochondrial genes, can grow and reproduce itself
48
function of inter-membrane space
hydrogen ions pumped into this space by etc
49
adaptation of inner-membrane space
small- build up proton concentration quickly
50
4 main cellular process that use atp as a source of energy
1. synthesising dna and proteins 2. pumping molecules across membrane- active transport 3. muscle contraction 4. movement of chromosomes during cell division
51
molecules that control the process of respiration
enzymes
52
y cell respiration much happen within every living cell
needs its own supply of atps to carry out vital processes given out by respiration since every cell must carry out cellular respiration
53
purpose of filter paper wicks
increase efficiency of co2 absorption
54
function of capillary tube containing coloured oil
measures rate of oxygen consumption- movement in the oil per minute towards the other tube
55
function of rubber bungs sealing each tube
close system to prevent changes in air volume not due to respiration
56
function of syringe
used to reset position of coloured oil
57
function of metal cage
keep organism in place and away from contact with the hydroxide solution
58
main advantages to humans of anaerobic respiration
can supply atp rapidly for a short period of time
59
y can aerobic respiration only be done for short periods of time
lactic acid will build up and the body cant tolerate it → need o2 to break it down
60
oxygen debt
demand for oxygen to break down the excess lactic acid built up during anaerobic respiration
61
electron carrier
substances that can accept and give up electrons as required and link oxidations and reductions in cells
62
how phosphorylation aids cell respiration
- makes a molecule unstable → more likely to react - reduce the activation energy required for the reaction
63
coenzyme: a carrier
non-protein that binds to enzymes to help catalyse reactions
64
how to measure rate of respiration + set up [4]
respirometer 1. capillary tube filled with coloured fluid and attached to a test tube 2. wire basket for the living organism 3. potassium hydroxide solution 4. syringe
65
chemical used to generate co2
sodium hydrogen carbonate
66
enzyme for atp + energy it uses
atp synthase using energy to form organic compounds
67
waste products of aerobic respiration
co2 + water
68
where does aerobic respiration carry pyruvate to
mitochondria
69
what can anaerobic respiration metabolise
carbohydrates (glucose) NOT LIPIDS
70
product after phosphorylation
glucose-1, 6 biphosphate
71
why is anaerobic respiration- glycolysis reversible
wont use up all the NAD+
72
why do lipids have a higher energy yield
go directly to link reaction
73
how to regenerate NAD+
convert pyruvate → lactate during anaerobic respiration
74
eg hydrolysis reaction
ATP → ADP + Pi
75
processes that uses atp [4]
1. synthesising dna and proteins 2. active transport 3. muscle contraction 4. movement of chromosomes
76
how does phosphorylation make process more efficient
makes compound to be more unstable so easier to react with lower activation energy
77
coenzyme A
non protein that binds to enzymes and catalyses reactions
